Hi! I am really struggling with many things in the last 3 months. My knee has deteriorated so badly that I can't walk without a crutch. I was supposed to have the joint replaced, but have been told I may have breast cancer and that needs to be taken care of before anything can be done with my knee. I will be going through a surgery tomorrow for the breast to determine if there is cancer there. I've been told there is a "moderate chance" it's cancer. If it is cancer, the knee can't be replaced while I'm being treated for the cancer. In the meantime, I was let go from my job in mid-May after the employer was told I would need the knee replacement surgery which would require me to be off work for 6 - 8 weeks. Without the ability to walk, I can't apply for any jobs in my field. I don't know how I'm going to pay for the insurance to handle all of these health issues, not to mention be able to pay rent, etc. Throughout all of this, my daughter, who just graduated from high school, had an emergency appendectomy in March, and just had a severe knee dislocation almost 2 weeks ago, and has a lot of rehab to go through. She is supposed to go to college this August. I keep trying to hold on to my faith that God will take care of my daughter and I through all of this, but things have been quite overwhelming lately. Today I'm feeling especially anxious in anticipation of the surgery tomorrow. Part of the procedure has to be done while I'm still awake, which makes me very scared. I would appreciate any prayers that will help me hear God's reassurances through all of this, including calming my nervousness today and tomorrow for tomorrow's surgery. I will find out if it's breast cancer on Friday, and would truly appreciate prayers that it's God's will that it's not breast cancer. Lastly, I would appreciate prayers for resources to pay the bills until I can get back to work, and that I can find a job when I'm healthy again. Thank you for your support. Janet

A miracle!

June 10, 2013

We where evicted! We are a large family and have until tomorrow 9pm to get everything out. The sheriff served us the papers Saturday evening at 9pm. We tried to talk to the landlord but he just wants us out! I have no idea honestly what we did to make him so angry that he would want us out! and would put 9 people on the street! God answered our prayer with a storage unit to store all our stuff but we really need a miracle for a place to live........We need a 4 bedroom by tomorrow before 9pm or else we will be homeless. There is no help in WI at the moment, the shelters are full and they do not have emergency housing for families this large. I was on the phone for a month now trying to find a place and never had any luck and now we have 24hrs to move out! Im scared! I have prayed even through this. But my husband has lost all faith , he has cursed the lord and questioned him why?!?! I hate to see him like this and it bothers me to hear him speak like this to God! I am praying for some kind of miracle. Please if anyone would please pray for us I am very grateful for your prayers. I just hope God hears it and gives us a miracle!

Pray this week is the miracle week

June 10, 2013

I'm trying to see if this prayer chain will work to help my friend get a job this week! He is so distraught and feeling helpless. He has been trying for so long to get a job but hasn't even recieved any phone calls back. I am praying this week will be our miracle week and that GOD is looking out for him and letting him know that there is hope. Show him that prayer works and life is worth living. There really is a GOD who loves us all! Thank you for your prayers and positive thinking!
